I have had about twenty Billy bookcases over the years. Ahh, faithful Billy! They do come with securing straps, and it is a good idea to use them if you live in an area that gets earthquakes or if, to pick a random and totally hypothetical example, you have cats who might leap suddenly to the top of the bookcases with enough force to send two of them toppling over, denting the solid maple coffee table, strewing hundreds of books around the living room, and instilling in the cats a dread of books lasting for several years.
